Well I have reached ERT

Went in for my monthly check up & lo & behold I reached ERT July 4th. Kind of thought I had as been little SOB this week. My 8+year old PM has shut down the Rate Response so I get 70 b/min no matter what I do. Hah! My EP is on vacation & comes back Monday July 11th. Of course he is booked solid but I expect I will get a replacement in next week or so as am 100% dependent as have had an AV node ablation in 2000. This will be PM #3. During #2 needed to have my single lead pulled out/replaced & as #1 only in 2 yrs was no problem. Sure hope this next one goes as smoothly as last. Will let you all know the date so can start the prayers. I know, I know it is a simple procedure but I still get nervous. Thanks for reading.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
